To the beloved family of Jarrell, I just accidentally came across this page and learned of his passing. Jarrell and I performed at countless weddings, receptions, and other events together, as I açcompnied on piano or organ. This news has been heart-stopping for me. He was a natural favorite of my two daughters, and I just can't say enough about our life-long history of providing live music services, together. Luther Vandross was his music icon! He always knew how to make me laugh by snorting in my ear. His parents were warm and welcoming towards us, as well. God's comfort, peace, and understanding over the family, during your season of bereavement. Jehovah Raffae shall rapidly heal your hearts.
